This is just to provide a warning to anyone playing on sportsbet.io, to carefully check that you are allowed to play on sportsbet.io as they do not perform adequate checks and are also allowing players from France to play on their platform DESPITE it being clearly against the regulations set out to them by Curaçao eGaming.

Proof:- I have been able to play on the sportsbet.io site recently whilst in France
- sportsbet.io Customer Support confirmed to me that players from France are accepted on their site

I also made AskGamblers aware of this recently and they updated their site to add France to the "Restricted Countries" section on the sportsbet.io AskGamblers profile page.
In relation to this part of the Curaçao eGaming website "Before reporting such non-compliance, please make sure the license holder is not operating under multiple licenses, allowing the legal operation in the above regions."
After using AskGamblers Curaçao section, I visited over 20 websites that also are licensed by Curaçao eGaming and can confirm that all 20 I clicked on restrict players from France.
Some sites are licensed by a difference license for French players, such as Cloudbet.com. They are licensed by Curaçao eGaming and E Gambling Montenegro, when you visit the site from france you are displayed with the Montenegro license and not the Curaçao.
sportsbet.io do not show any signs on their website that they are licensed by anyone else other than Curaçao eGaming, meaning they appear to be illegally allowing players from France.If such a simple instruction from their regulator Curaçao is not abided by, I would suggest that you approach sportsbet.io with extreme caution if you are to gamble on their site. Unless sportsbet.io can provide clarification over this matter.
